Question
What symptoms may occur once a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the common childhood diseases. When affected, children may experience symptoms such as sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever. In severe cases, the body temperature can reach 39-40 degrees Celsius, accompanied by chills, weakness, and headaches. At the same time, the tonsils may swell, and the mucous membranes of the throat may become congested, which may lead to serious complications such as nephritis and sepsis. These complications pose a threat to the child’s life. Parents should take their children to the doctor for timely treatment.
